The cheat meal is something that is needed if your eating strict. Psychologically and physiologically it is needed. I take a cheat meal when I feel I need it. But only after at least 5 days of strict eating. The whole day comes in handy when you are preparing for an event to flood the muscles with extra glycogen to fill up the muscles.
I travel a lot for work so I even work towards overtraining the week prior to my trip; knowing that I won't get to train everyday and I will also be eating a little more relaxed at business dinners. Works like a charm I always end up filling back out and never really gaining any fat. There is no way i can eat every 2 hours and work productively while on a business trip so I actually end up eating less calories over all for those days but instead of the strict 50/30/20 macro ratio. Its more like 30/40/30 Protein, carb, fat. i know its not an exact science but I love the first 3 days in the gym back home because I look like a freak

For guys like me it really doesn't matter as I can easily put away 8,000-10,000 calories in a single meal if I let myself go (7lb+ of pizza in less then 30 mins anyone?).
My idea for sanity is to simply build a cheat day into my calories each week. Keeps cravings at bay and minimizes damage. I have tried many differnt ways of doing this. From eating less calories each day and "saving them up" for the weekend to what I am doing now.
I now use intermintet fasting (only thing that allows me to control my unending appetite) and when I want a cheat day I will simply eat double calories one day and then fast the next day. I find that this works best for me, hormones go CRAZY after a cheat day like this as well.
For those that ask, no I have had no issues with muscle loss doing this, I actually usually make improvements in the gym after this. Along with usually being down a bit on the scale after a day or 2 to let the water weight settle.
